ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this ninth day
of September, 1890.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS on or about the sixth day of June last an
inquiry was held, under and in accordance with
“The Regulation of Local Elections Act, 1876,” before
George Augustus Preece, Esquire, into the validity of the
election of certain persons as a Licensing Committee, claim-
ing to have been elected under the provisions of “The
Licensing Act, 1881,” for the Licensing District of Pahiatua
Town: And whereas such inquiry was so held before the
said George Augustus Preece, Esquire, as Resident Magis-
trate of the Court nearest to the place at which such elec-
tion took place, and thereupon, inter alia, the said election
was declared to be void: And whereas according to law it
was the duty of the officer required in that behalf to give
certain notice to the Returning Officer, and for such Return-
ing Officer thereupon to proceed to hold a fresh election in
lieu of that so declared void as aforesaid: And whereas the
necessary acts and proceedings to hold a fresh election have
been done and taken, and another Licensing Committee for
the said District of Pahiatua Town was duly elected: And
whereas the annual meeting of the said Committee has been
unavoidably held at a later date than during the first ten
days in the month of June, as required by the said Act,
namely, on the twenty-first day of July last, and it is
expedient that the holding of such meeting should be
validated:
Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers
and authorities conferred by the two hundred and twenty-
seventh section of “The Licensing Act, 1881,” and by and
with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the
said colony, doth hereby (to the end that the intent and pur-
pose of the said Act may have effect) validate the holding of
the meeting of the said Licensing Committee for the said
district on the said twenty-first day of July last, and doth
hereby declare that no proceedings at the said meeting, and
no license granted or renewed thereat, shall be held to be
void or informal by reason only of the delay in holding the
said meeting as aforesaid.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
